A photograph of two men working on a red-painted wall outdoors. In the foreground a man in a lime green and yellow striped short-sleeved shirt with a red wrist thread applies cement or plaster along the base of the wall with a trowel, while an older man with white hair and a light beige shirt stands beside him watching. Between the bricks at the foot of the wall is fresh grey mortar. Behind them a wooden scaffold pole leans against the wall, and a green lawn, a tree and a red boundary wall are visible in the background. Chalk or pencil marks are scrawled on the red wall surface.
